Happy Thanksgiving


T'was the night of Thanksgiving,
But I just couldn't sleep.
I tried counting backwards,
I tried counting sheep.



The leftovers beckoned -
The dark meat and white,
But I fought the temptation
With all of my might.



Tossing and turning
With anticipation,
The thought of a snack
Became infatuation.


So, I raced to the kitchen,
Flung open the door
And gazed at the fridge,
Full of goodies galore.


I gobbled up turkey
And buttered potatoes,
Pickles and carrots,
Beans and tomatoes.



I felt myself swelling
So plump and so round,
'Til all of a sudden,
I rose off the ground.



I crashed through the ceiling,
Floating into the sky
With a mouthful of pudding
And a handful of pie.



But I managed to yell
As I soared past the trees...
Happy eating to all -
Pass the cranberries, please.



May your stuffing be tasty,
May your turkey be plump,
May your potatoes 'n gravy
Have nary a lump.



May your yams be delicious,
May your pies take the prize,
May your thanksgiving dinner
Stay off of your thighs.



May your Thanksgiving be blessed !!
